Well, I'm still a little confused of your point then. If you are driving the car "like a grandma", then I would argue you are not coming close to normal wear. It's designed to handle driving a little harder than grandma's driving. Also, the OM says 450 lb max for both passenger and driver. If you're under that, you should be within the limits of "normal" wear as defined by Nissan. So if you weigh 150 lbs, you should be able to carry a 300 lb passenger and not induce any additional wear (beyond "normal") on the vehicle
I drive the Z pretty hard. But I don't abuse it by any means. And I take care of all the necessary maintenance. I might be wearing things a bit more than "normal" as defined by Nissan, but I'm fine with that. If some OEM parts can't handle my driving, then I will gladly upgrade it to better quality aftermarket parts. In 65K miles I haven't found any OEM parts that cannot hold up to my daily driving except possibly the CSC, which I replaced prior to it failing. And it's not like the CSC is well-reputed OEM part on this car.

I did not mention any of my concerns because I do not have any. I have addressed the concerns that I had previously (ESCL & CSC)
